Light for its output, weak in heat
The Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH series is designed to maximize energy yield from a large module surface in installations where every square meter counts. The use of N-type TOPCon cells helps to minimize losses and maintain stable operation at higher temperatures, which, in Polish conditions, translates to more predictable energy production during the summer season. A key feature of this series is the 210R rectangular cells, which allow for better utilization of the active area, and consequently improve module efficiency without compromising performance specifications. The design with multi-busbar connections (MBB) improves current collection and resistance to micro-cracks, which is important during transportation and installation on roofs and ground-mounted structures. This is a good choice for installers and investors seeking high efficiency in low-sunlight conditions, as well as for larger commercial and industrial (C&I) projects where a quick return on investment and reduced degradation risk are important.

Commercial, utility-scale and cold-climate.
Hot climates.
Top 11% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of 53.1.
Top 15% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of 22.80%.
Top 16% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of 227.7.
Bottom 19% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of -0.290.
Efficiency up to 23.32% matches the best TOPCon modules on the market (Resun RS8H-M-BD and Jinko Tiger Neo 66HL4M-BDV both post identical 23.32%), placing the LP182*210-M-66-NH series at the top of its peer comparables up to 630 Wp.
Combining N-type TOPCon cells with rectangular 210R format better utilizes the module's active area without artificially inflating datasheet numbers, translating into a genuinely higher yield per square meter of roof or ground-mount space.
Multi-busbar (MBB) interconnection improves current collection and increases resistance to microcracks that can occur during transport and installation, reducing the risk of early power loss during the first years of operation.
The 30-year power warranty matches the standard offered by Jinko Solar and Canadian Solar on comparable TOPCon series, exceeding the market-standard 25-year warranty typical of older PERC technology.
Leapton (headquartered in Japan, founded 2012) has achieved BNEF Tier 1 classification, confirming bankability for bank-financed projects, while remaining price-positioned below larger brands such as Canadian Solar or Jinko.
The LP182*210-M-66-NH series does not offer a bifacial variant, whereas direct competitor Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 Anti-Dust at a comparable power rating (630 Wp) and efficiency (23.3%) is available bifacial, which in ground-mount installations with reflective surfaces can deliver an additional 3-8% yield not available in this series.
Leapton has been operating since 2012, a shorter history than comparable tier-1 manufacturers such as Jinko Solar (since 2006) or Canadian Solar (since 2001), which for very large financed C&I projects may be perceived as a slightly higher reference risk despite holding BNEF Tier 1 status.
- At 23.3% efficiency, this panel is 0.5pp above typical TOPCon 600-650W modules (median: 22.8%)
- At 233.2 W/m² power density, this panel generates 5.5 W/m² more per unit area than TOPCon 600-650W median (227.7 W/m²)
- Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C matches the TOPCon 600-650W median
- At 29.5 kg, this panel is 3.2 kg lighter than TOPCon 600-650W median (32.7 kg) - easier handling during installation
- Ranked #973 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database
